Maintaining the safety and comfort of animals during Fourth of July festivities is essential. Keep their identification tags up-to-date, consider microchipping them, and seek veterinary advice if they exhibit anxiety or potential harmful reactions. Create a calming atmosphere by playing soothing music or keeping the TV on, and talk to your veterinarian about potential medication if necessary.

April is Pet First Aid Month! 🐾

Just like humans, our four-legged companions can have accidents or unexpected health issues. Knowing how to respond in an emergency can make all the difference.

To get started, consider taking a pet first aid class or researching reliable resources online. Familiarize yourself with common pet emergencies and how to respond appropriately. Additionally, ensure your pet’s first aid kit is well-stocked with essentials like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and any medications they may need.

Let’s make this Pet First Aid Month a time to prioritize our pets’ safety and well-being!

Have you met Liz yet?

With us for the past three years, she brought nearly two decades of experience and a lifetime's worth of fun to AHC. She has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and unending patience for teaching what she's learned. If you've booked a surgery lately, you've likely spoken with Liz - as our surgery coordinator she's responsible for planning in advance, and soothing anesthesia-day nerves. Ask her about your pet's dental health the next time you are in...she loves to talk about teeth!

In 2023, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center received calls about over 351,000 hazardous items. Here are the most common categories, to help you keep your furry friends safe.

1. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications
OTC medications remain at number one with 16.8% of the exposures. People sometimes accidentally drop their vitamins and supplements or leave bottles of pain medications (ibuprofen, naproxen) where pets can access them.

2. Food & Drink
Food and drink remains at number two with 16.2% of the calls. Protein drinks and bars, xylitol gums, grapes/raisins, and onions/garlic make up the largest part of this group.

3. Human Prescription Medications
Human prescription medications remain in the third spot. Heart medications, inhalers, and ADHD medications are the most commonly ingested.

4. Chocolate
Chocolate keeps slowly creeping up with 13% of the exposures. These are mostly dogs as cats do not have sweet taste buds and rarely eat enough to cause clinical signs.

5. Veterinary Products
Veterinary products have moved up two spots with 8.3% of the exposures. Many of these are ingestions of flavored chewable tablets or soft chews. These forms make it easy to administer but really increase the risk of ingestion of the whole container.

6. Plants and Fungi
Plants and fungi dropped one spot with 8.1% of the exposures. Plants exposures peaked during COVID, when so many of us bought houseplants during quarantine, and have been dropping since then.

7. Household Products
Household products also dropped one spot with 7.1% of the exposures. Deoxidizers (found in jerky and soft treats) and batteries are common ingestions. Exposure to disinfecting wipes has decreased since COVID.

8. Rodenticides
Rodenticides remain at number eight with 6.5% of the exposures. Many pets are exposed when rodents move the blocks from safe spaces to spaces that are more accessible to pets.

9. Insecticides
Insecticides also remain at number nine with 3.5% of the exposures. Reading labels about correct dilution and putting bags away after use can reduce the risks from this category.

10. Recreational Drugs
Recreational drugs remain in the top 10 with 2.3% of the exposures. While THC exposures continue to rise, the biggest gains were in mushroom (psilocybin and muscarine) exposures.

Today kicks off our most favorite week of the year: Vet Tech Week (aka Staff Appreciation Week).

Celebrating the staff you’ve come to know and love at AHC is a no brainer for us - this team is the best. They’re dedicated and hard working and loving and hilarious (much needed on hard days) and forever focused on what we do: take care of pets and their families.

It takes a remarkable person to commit to being a vet tech, and we’re honored to call some of the best our coworkers and friends.

If you’re in this week, give them all a little extra love, okay? ❤️

July 4th is right around the corner.

We’ll be closed July 4th to celebrate with friends and family, but here are some tips to keep your furry loved ones safe!

🔴 Keep pets who are sensitive to loud noises and flashes of light away from windows.
🟠 Have lots of pet-friendly snacks available.
🟡 Avoid feeing your pets human foods that can be dangerous, or just too rich for them.
🟢 Keep indoor/outdoor cats inside for fireworks if possible.
🔵 Keep dogs on a leash at all times and make sure they’re wearing their tags in case they do get out.
